Bill,
Everything is just fine. Haworth Press and its 254 journals are as Green
as Green can be, hence fully on the side of the Angels!

The links are all there on our end, pointing to the Haworth Press
website, both in the romeo.eprints version of the Registry of Journal
Self-Archiving Policies:
http://romeo.eprints.org/publishers/35.html
and in the SHERPA source version, which collects the primary data on
Publisher Self-Archiving Policies:
http://www.sherpa.ac.uk/romeo.php?all=yes
(Of course a pointer back to the Policy Registry would be welcome,
but your own description of your policy to your own authors is
admirably clear, and says it all.)

Absolutely nothing to critique, and you couldn't be any greener! Haworth
Press's Policy is:
Pre-print: author can archive pre-print (ie pre-refereeing)
Post-print: author can archive post-print (ie final draft post-refereeing)
Conditions:
* Published source must be acknowledged
* Eprint server is non-profit
That is just fine. Your copyright transfer statement is also linked:
http://www.haworthpress.com/journals/copytrans.asp
and it states:
c) retain PREPRINT DISTRIBUTION RIGHTS, including posting
as electronic files on the contributor's own Web site for
personal or professional use, or on the contributor's internal
university/corporate intranet or network, or other external Web
site at the contributor's university or institution, but not for
either commercial (for-profit) or systematic third party sales or
dissemination, by which is meant any interlibrary loan or document
delivery systems. The contributor may update the preprint with
the final version of the article after review and revision by the
journal's editor(s) and/or editorial/peer-review board;
1) Include a standard copyright line: copyright date, publisher?s
name, city and state, journal and article title, volume, issue,
and page number(s);
2) Include the following information: Article copies available
from The Haworth Document Delivery Service: 1-800-HAWORTH. E-mail
address: <docdelivery at haworthpress.com>;
3) If reprinted electronically, include a hyperlink/hot
link to The Haworth Press, Inc. home page. Our URL is
<http://www.HaworthPress.com>;
4) If reprinted electronically, there must be no charge for
viewing the article.
All of this is crystal clear for any author with eyes to see!
